I have a website where it is a large number of tools that users can use. These tools are organized by category.

Lets say you are viewing a tool in category A, at the bottom of that tool there will be 3 links to other tools in category A. They are completely random but always from the same category. Even if you refresh the page a different set links to related tools will appear.

Is this good or bad for SEO and ranking? Or do we not necessarily know if this has any impact on SEO and ranking?

I want to make sure to build strong internal links, I had assumed this worked in my favor but it just occurred to me that maybe this is something people refrain from doing.
 
Random links are bad for seo as they are irrelevant. Also related posts(apps) are not much of seo value. Inline text links are of most value. If you can create inline text link use linkwhisper to do it.
If you can't then use a better related post widget that is seo optimized not like random post widget.
Something like this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/super-related-posts/
 
Random internal links in a category can help with SEO by improving crawling and user engagement, but they might spread link equity too thin. Combining fixed links with random ones keeps things relevant and well-structured.
